Help me raise money to send kids with cancer to #CampOoch through the #SL10K https://raceroster.com/events/2019/19641/2019-toronto-sporting-life-10k/pledge/participant/5095716

My Story…

We were introduced to the wonders of Camp Ooch on April 25th, 2013 when our five and half year old daughter was diagnosed with Ewings Sarcoma in her lower back. The number 5 is a very important number to us this year. Lauren celebrated 5 years NED this past December and this will be The Tumour Ninjas 5th year walking, running and ralking for Camp Ooch! If Ooch campers can face cancer, chemotherapy, radiation, surgery and numerous pokes with smiles on their faces, the least we can do is run, walk or ralk 10K. To those that have donated THANK YOU! Your donations matter and make a difference in the lives of Camp Ooch campers.

Description

Help send kids affected by childhood cancer to Camp Ooch!

A diagnosis of childhood cancer is a big, scary, sudden swerve in the road, changing life in an instant. 

For affected families, it can feel like everything is about cancer. Simple, childhood joys like friendships, birthday parties, or sports teams are left behind in the need for medical appointments, hospital stays, and long absences from school.

For over 35 years, Camp Ooch has offered a different path – the healing power of fun, friendship and self-confidence, and the joy of kids getting to just be kids! 

Often referred to as the social cure for cancer, Ooch provides programming at an overnight camp in Muskoka, at SickKids in Toronto, in specialized paediatric centres and in communities across Ontario. Camp Ooch is the only overnight camp in Canada to offer onsite IV chemotherapy and blood transfusions. 

Camp Ooch is a privately funded, volunteer-based organization that relies exclusively on the generous support of fundraisers, corporate donors and individuals, like you.

Ooch changes the lives of over 1,500 kids affected by childhood cancer every year. However, almost 80% of kids with cancer in Ontario don’t have access to the wonders of camp. You can help change that.

Cancer changes a child's life.  So does Camp.  And so can you.
